Report of Assessors - Financial Statement
REPORT OF ASSESSORS
The increase of nearly $200,000 in valuation is quite gratifying, since it is mainly on real estate, and so of a per- manent nature.
The Town Survey has been progressing during the year to such an extent that the field work is now complete along the shore from Rivermoor to the Glades, and as far back as the railroad for a greater part of this distance.
The map work is now being done and Mr. House promises to complete the fourteenth plan by March, 1916. The completion of this survey seems almost a necessity before going to the expense of a new valuation of the Town, and although 1916 is the year, according to our custom, for the publishing of this valuation, we suggest deferring the matter for another year, or until the maps are completed. We ask for the appropriation of $2000 for the Town Survey, the same as last year.

Report of Overseers of the Poor
REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
The Overseers have attended to all cases coming to their notice, and the accounts are to be found under the Select- men's report.
Mothers' Aid appears as a new item in the estimated expenses this year. This is not considered pauper aid and is given to mothers with dependent children in order that they may bring up their little ones under proper home conditions rather than leave them with the neighbors or free to run the streets while they go out to work. The amount needed for this purpose will not be less than $3000, while the usual amount for distribution by the Overseers may be reduced from $6200 to $4000.
